### Additional Security Threats to Consider
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Supply Chain Attacks**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Compromised Docker images, npm packages, Go modules
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ❌ None
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Add Trivy scanning (already in CI) + SBOM generation
|
||||
|
||||
**2. DNS Hijacking / Cache Poisoning**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Attacker redirects DNS queries to malicious servers
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ❌ None (relies on system DNS resolver)
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Document use of encrypted DNS (DoH/DoT) in deployment guide
|
||||
|
||||
**3. TLS Downgrade Attacks**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Force clients to use weak TLS versions
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ✅ Caddy enforces TLS 1.2+ by default
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Document minimum TLS version in security.md
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Certificate Transparency (CT) Log Poisoning**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Attacker registers fraudulent certs for your domains
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ❌ None
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Add CT log monitoring (future feature)
|
||||
|
||||
**5. Privilege Escalation (Container Escape)**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Attacker escapes Docker container to host OS
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ⚠️ Partial (Docker security best practices)
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Document running with least-privilege, read-only root filesystem
|
||||
|
||||
**6. Session Hijacking / Cookie Theft**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Steal user session tokens via XSS or network sniffing
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ✅ HTTPOnly cookies, Secure flag, SameSite (verify implementation)
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Add CSP (Content Security Policy) headers
|
||||
|
||||
**7. Timing Attacks (Cryptographic Side-Channel)**
|
||||
- **Threat:** Infer secrets by measuring response times
|
||||
- **Current Protection:** ❌ Unknown (need bcrypt timing audit)
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Use constant-time comparison for tokens
|
||||
|
||||
**Enterprise-Level Security Gaps:**
|
||||
- **Missing:** Security Incident Response Plan (SIRP)
|
||||
- **Missing:** Automated security update notifications
|
||||
- **Missing:** Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for admin accounts
|
||||
- **Missing:** Audit logging for compliance (GDPR, SOC 2)
